Horrors of SOLITARY Confinement.

attempted to assasinate King Humbert
and dangerously wounded Prime Minis
ter Carroll some five or six years ago, is
now lying at the point of death. Con-
demned to Imprisonment for life he was
incarcerated in large circular cell
in the Portoferraio convict prison
on the Island of Elba The walls.

with nothing on which to rest
the eye, daylight being admitted
through a small skylight in the domed
ceiling. Condemned to solitary con-
flnement, with no books or work to.
help him pass away the long, dreary
hours, the man soon became hopeless
imbecile. His appearance is horrible.
Want Of exercise has produced obesity
almost resembling elephantiasis, and
the rolling eyes, the shaven head and
face, and yellow, greazy-looking skin
conduce to make him utterly repulsive
to the sight.

AIexandra's Kindness of Heart.

Of the Princess of Wales, who, if she
lives, will some day be Queen and En-
press Of Britannia's domains, q charm
ing story is just added to the many
humane acts for which she is noted. A
little while ago she visited the Millbank
female prison, and was shown over the
place by the chaplain. In one of the
cells was a woman who was so violent
that it had been found necessary to
handcuf her. Her Royal Highness
spoke kindly and tenderly to the woman
demonstrated with her as to her con-
duct and completely broke down her
sullenness. The refractory woman burst
into tears, and on the Princess asking
her to promise that if the handouts
were removed she would not be violent,
she faltered out in voice choked with
sobs, II will really be good, if they take
these things off," 1t is needless to say
that "these things" were taken off.

it is the easier) through a coarse towel;
when nearly cold, add two ounces Of

il lemon is desired, add essence of

with these proportions Of alum and

Courage of Women.

In courage the ordinary woman,
says the Augusta Gazette, greatly out
strips the ordinary man. Whether it
be reckless, unconscious. or sublime,
the element of personal courage that
affects fit at the intrusion of mouse

ger. A lady who would not venture
from her rural front door alone was
often met abroad leading a 3-year-old
child by the hand. When asked if she
considered the infants presence pro-
lection, she answered.: ssIn a measure,
yes; for when am alone l feel that [

run from a shadow, but if were at
tackled with this child I would defend it
to the last" Some persons will ac-
count for this on maternal instincts.
But the lady was not related to the
child and she was unmarried.
